If they bring in a new QB it will be debating that QB vs Hurts vs Minshew, you'll have Wentz and Foles mentioned here and there. It never stops. The only time in recent memory we didn't have a QB controversy was when Wentz was playing lights out in 2017 before he got hurt. Most fans finally thought we had the long-term answer. Remember, at one time there were fans calling for Butt Fumble Sanchez to start over Foles. Ah yes, I remember that.....I never thought in a million years that ANYONE would want buttfumble to start for this team.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love when the Eagle fans show so much negativity to a QB, who the team just endorsed for next year. I think people should just like him, simply because it takes the same amount of time as hating him. LOL because he isnt any good 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eagle45 Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Showing support for Hurts equates to showing malice towards our offense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as there are wins and playoffs. Hurts was the top runner at QB, and that matters, it brings wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't hate him in the least but, I can not hate him and still think he isn't the answer. The team endorsing a player or a coach for next year right now means absolutely nothing. Agree. No one ..ever is The answer. They are simply an answer / the best player available. We will see in 2023 if one of the top QBs is attainable, if we have enough draft capital to move up. I expect Eagles to possibly trade one of the 1st rounders this year for a 2023 1st rounder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeep_man Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 We need to burn another year and run with Hurts. If Hurts bombs, then Eagles will be picking high to select the future signal caller for the franchise... Please no Deshaun Watson, Wilson or Rodgers etc... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, they could fall in love with a prospect this year even in the relatively weak class and decide that guy is it. Hurts gives them the luxury of time - they aren’t desperate so don’t need to force anything. Can wait till a guy they have high conviction on comes along. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mihailo Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Should be open competition for next season. The draft should be saved for other pieces and overspending a FA would be a waste as this team needs a couple of years at least. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be but unless they bring in a pretty good veteran I'm not sure it will be. If they bring in a back up instead of Minshew then that's not going to be competition. If they bring in a second round or later QB then that's development. If they bring in a first round pick then I think they sit them at least for a few weeks behind Hurts. I just don't see there being competition in any circumstances to be honest. Unless like I say they bring in a decent veteran but then who? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldeagle Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Hurts is issue is simple, learn to throw those timing patterns throws or move on. 3rd downs , he can improvise and try to find a WR with scrambling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CouchKing Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Either 1) Howie is committed to Jalen Hurts -Jalen is starter next year -We build via free agency and draft around Jalen Or 2) Howie is blowing smoke / playing poker -We say we will start Jalen, but will move in another direction given the opportunity -It serves Eagles and Hurts to preserve Hurts' value in the market as a starter (as if other orgs are blind) (there is always a foolish team to be scammed in a QB trade) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EazyEaglez Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Wohoo! Now we can go get Rodgers so he can blow it here for another season or two for three first round picks and retire! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude is 38 and threatening to retire. That's a lot of draft capital we could use to fix other parts of the team or draft a younger player. And, not sure Rodgers would want to come here. Not sure Green Bay would trade him. Rodgers could force a trade. "Ain't playing through rebuild." And Rodgers could probably approve/disapprove of the destination. "Ain't going to Lions, Jets, Jags, Texans, Dolphins . . . Washers, Colts . . . Eagles" There you go. He ain't coming to Philly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy isn’t coming here and frankly I wouldn’t want him for the exact reasons you mentioned. Let some other team give up a bunch of high picks cause they think they’re a quarterback away from something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillyMG Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 I'll feel the same as I did before he was drafted, after he was drafted, after he played a few games to end the 2020 season and after a season as the starter. And that is that is he is NOT an NFL QB. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howie would not mind upgrading Hurts, but recognises we have a lack of cap space and a real need to add young talent to the rest of the team and particularly the defense. We are paying Hurts next to nothing, so why not roll with him for another year, whilst building the team, which would greatly help any future QB as well as Hurts. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
